contrast therapy
Contrast therapy is the ancient practice of using both hot and cold to induce a multitude of health benefits.
Combining Phil's background as a certified breathwork facilitator and ice bath guide and Vicki’s certification in Sauna Mastery we’ve developed a truly unique contrast therapy workshop to help educate and immerse you in an unforgettable experience.
The most important element of contrast therapy is timing, temperature and how to glide between the two.
The elements of contrast therapy
breathwork
Guided blissful breathwork deepens the connection to self, sooths the nervous system and prepares us to enter contrast therapy grounded in purpose and intention. Preparation of mind and body deepens the impact and starts us from a place of calm and balance.
cold water immersion
Starting (and ending) on cold we teach you how to gently warm the blood and calm your breathing before entering the cold in a best safe practice way. We’ll teach you about timings = benefit and how the system works using the cold as a hermetic stressor to activate the deepest parts of your physiology for contrast with heat.
Sauna
Using the latest science from some of the worlds leading experts as well as our own training we’ll guide you through best practice and how to use the sauna to it’s full advantage while practicing contrast therapy. We aim to expel the myths around timings and temperature and maximise the wonderful benefits of sauna in contrast therapy.
